Animals vomiting their Bones
Neulich hatten wir’s noch mit Tieren, die sich in der Werbung selber essen, jetzt bewirbt WMF ihre Entbeinungs-Messer mit Schweinen und Kühen, die ihre Skelette hinkotzen. „People, what a bunch of bastards.“ (via Malcolm)
Made By Hand: The Knife Maker

Nette Kurzdoku über „Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. He talks about the human element of craft, and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. And in sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade—a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash.“
Neistat Bros’ Knife-Hack
Kate von HBO hat mir eine Mail wegen einer ihrer neuen Shows geschrieben: The Neistat Brothers. Fand ich insgesamt eher so mittelinteressant, dann habe ich obigen Clip gesehen und der zumindest ist awesome! Darin zeigt einer der Brüder seinen Knife-Hack: Ein Taschenmesser, das kein Messer mehr ist, sondern ein Schlüssel. Wie geil ist das denn? Ich will auch sowas! Hier ihre Mail:
The Neistat Brothers, a genre-busting, eight-episode series consisting of experimental short films from the art-world brothers of the same name, premieres Friday, June 4th on HBO. A mix of comedy and drama, each episode spans six weeks in the lives of Casey and Van Neistat (pronounced “nice-tat”).
With no formal film training Casey and Van Neistat began making videos in 1999. Since then, they\’ve created 200+ videos that have generated millions of views online. Their most renowned video, Ipod\’s Dirty Little Secret, has been seen by over 2.3 million people.
Written and directed by Casey and Van, the show is made up of short, autobiographical vignettes that document the brothers’ adventures as DIY-film auteurs using everything from Super-8 cameras to iPhones to film. Casey notes, “Everything that happens in each episode took place in the last six weeks – everything.” As we learn, the production cycle of each episode involves four weeks filming, followed by two (more feverish) weeks editing the show in a newly expanded downtown NYC studio.

Supersicherer Schweizer Messer-USB-Stick
Victorinox, die auch das original Schweizer Messer herstellen, haben einen USB-Stick mit Fingerabdruckscanner, Thermalsensor und Selbstzerstörungsmechanismus vorgestellt. Whoa! Fast so gut, wie das Ding auf Amazon.
The Secure features a fingerprint scanner and a thermal sensor “so that the finger alone, detached from the body, will still not give access to the memory stick’s contents.”
There’s also a self-destruct mechanism. Victorinox offers no explanation how this works, only saying that if someone tries to forcibly open the memory stick it triggers a self-destruct mechanism that “irrevocably burns [the Secure's] CPU and memory chip.”
